Current Mortgage Rate Context

Market-level mortgage rate comparison for this area:

Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's representative recent sale is anchored by a 265,000 median sold price, which suggests realized market value is notably below asking levels and may indicate pricing friction between seller expectations and transaction outcomes given the higher median listing price.

  2. The gap between the 320,000 median listing price and the median sold price points to a meaningful ask-to-sold spread that may indicate sellers are testing higher price points while actual transactions are settling lower.

  3. Liquidity appears slower given the 108 median days on market, which aligns with elevated inventory relative to sales and suggests moderate transaction volume rather than rapid turnover.

  4. Market drivers: prices are trending up year-over-year (up), rent trends are down (down), and interest rate pressure is elevated—notably, Current 30-year fixed mortgage rates in San Antonio, TX are 6.75% compared to the 6.05% average seen in early 2026, which elevates borrowing costs and may weigh on near-term buyer capacity.

Current Mortgage Rate Context

Market-level mortgage rate comparison for this area:

Current 30-year fixed mortgage rates in San Antonio, TX are 6.75% compared to the 6.05% average seen in early 2026, increasing borrowing costs for property owners in this market.

Key Findings

  1. Median sold price is the primary indicator of market value and recent transaction activity; with a sample of 6 total sold properties analyzed, recent sales support ongoing appreciation even as some segments show minor corrections — up price trajectory provides transactional confirmation of rising values.

  2. Price year-over-year trend is up, which aligns with observed sold transactions and suggests continued nominal appreciation in ZIP 78249 despite isolated soft patches in specific product tiers.

  3. Market temperature is neutral, indicating a balanced market where pricing friction and negotiation are likely moderate rather than one-sided; expect neither rapid price escalation nor steep discounts in typical transactions — neutral.

  4. Interest rate pressure is elevated and may constrain buyer purchasing power; note that current 30-year fixed mortgage rates in San Antonio are 6.75% compared to an earlier 6.05% average in early 2026, which increases carrying costs and could slow market velocity — elevated.

  5. Median market rent is 1,100, while rent trends are down, indicating rental income momentum is weakening and should be considered when underwriting short-term investment cases.
